Bands for pouch prolapses

Ellie85Member

I am hoping someone on here has had bands for pouch prolapses. I saw Dr Bo Shen two weeks ago and he was great. I had a minor stricture that he removed but he found that I have prolapses at the inlet of my pouch and at the base. It was interesting to find this out because he thinks it explains why I have a fistula but didn't have j pouch inflammation for years. He recommended manometry (came out fine) a defecography barium study and thinks I need bands to treat the prolapses. Has anyone had this procedure? I am trying to schedule it now and I would like to talk to him or the nurse about it but its complicated to talk to his office because of the holidays. I need to travel to NYC to see him and I want to know how long I can expect to be there/what shape I will be in. I need to bring my husband but we both have jobs and a young child. The stricture removal was pretty easy and the bowel prep was far worse than the recovery.
